The absolute power of guardians protected by third buddies in the judiciary and the hired guns who protect them seems unassailable. If judges actually did their job disciplining guardians who abuse and exploit their wards, the answer would be you could avoid being abused by a guardian by reporting them to the judge and expecting the judge to discipline them.
